I hope this is not posted somewhere else because I could not find it. My wife and I have been working on memorizing John 1. I was excited about the new memorization tool in Logos 5 but was very disappointing with the limited features it has. I can't even figure out how to type the the whole passage in logos without skipping around verses. When memorizing passages one of the most important aspects is being able to connect one verse to the next and keep them in order. The current memorize tool does not help much with memory work on long passages.

Are there any features I am missing?

Are there any ways to modify the tool?

I saw on other posts that there are some online memorization tools but I don't have internet at home so please don't suggest online programs (unless they are downloadable and can be ran without internet).

Hey PL! ScriptureTyper is pretty good. If you can log into the web version of the product (free) you may be able to drop in other language characters. I can try Greek tonight if you'd like me to do so. I also like Memorize which is a voice recording memorization app. Finally, I like "Fighter Verses" as well which comes from John Pipers church :)

Jason, I'm guessing you may have already discovered this bit, but if you enter the entire chapter in the reference box of the passage guide, and then go to memorize, the memorize tool will break it into individual verses. Practice mode lets you practice the verses in sequential order.

The problem is that Quiz mode will only allow you to "quiz" the verses in random order.

SUGGESTION FOR IMPROVEMENT: It would be helpful to be able to choose whether to take the quiz in sequential or random order. Random is very helpful when learning individual verses. A sequential mode would be very helpful when learning longer passages.

What I like about it (in addition to its helpful practice modes) is the way that verses are scheduled periodically for review. That would also be a very helpful thing for the Logos version to eventually include. See this page for more information: https://sites.google.com/site/rememberapp/review-frequency

As an alternative, I've found Anki works really well... once you figure it out. It's a flash card program that works on Windows, Mac, *nix, Android, iOS with large library of user generated cards. I'm using some user created cards now for learning the greek alphabet and vocabulary. They also have some with scripture and just about anything you might want, or you can bake your own. Very flexible. And the spaced repetition method it uses seems to work very nicely.
